General

If you would like to update your installation or transfer it to another location/server, we highly recommend to back up all your data. You can use the Backup entire database function in this scope.

Once you click, a window will pop up, asking you where would to like to save the .sql database backup.

For more about its usage, read our wikis on:

  • [Installation#Transferring an installation|how to transfer an installation];
  • [Installation#Upgrading from a previous version|how to upgrade an installation] (non-ComfortUpdate solution).

This option is usually used when changes on different settings (e.g. in the code) are done. In this way, you are sure that the data is saved if the installation breaks up.
